INTRODUCTION. 

This  children's  library  was  selected  and  the  books  purchased  for 
the  use  of  the  students  in  the  summer  library  school  conducted  by  the 
Micliigan  State  Board  of  Library  Commissioners  at  the  State  Library 
Lansing,  1908.  The  list  is  now  printed  for  the  use  of  all  library  workers 
in  the  state.  The  books  here  listed  make  up  a  general  children's 
library,  which  should  lead  to  the  adult  library.  Care  has  been  taken 
to  include  a  fair  proportion  of  books  of  information  and  to  recommend 
attractive  editions  of  standard  works  of  literature.  The  library  child 
is  not  at  first  a  reader  and  his  choice  is  greatly  influenced  by  the 
mechanical  make-uj)  of  books.  He  is  attracted  by  the  clear  tyjje, 
wide  margins  and  the  color  in  the  binding.  There  is  an  educating 
power  in  all  these  details,  and  the  best  editions,  especially  of  the  classics, 
should  be  purchased  for  use  in  the  children's  library.  The  compiler 
of  this  catalogue,  Miss  Effie  L.  Power,  has  had  large  experience  and 
has  earned  a  reputation  as  a  children's  librarian  and  teacher  of  library 
work  for  children.  A  large  proportion  of  the  notes  included  in  this 
list  was  prepared  by  Miss  May  H.  Prentice  and  Miss  Effie  L.  Power 
and  appear  in  a  list  entitled  '^'A  children's  library"  compiled  by  the 
above  mentioned  librarians.  Notes  have  also  been  selected  from 
the  lists  prepared  by  the  Oregon  Commission,  the  Cleveland  Public 
Libraiy,  the  Wisconsin  Conmiission  and  the  Pittsburg  Caniegie  IJbrary. 

This*^list  will  be  submitted  to  book  sellers  in  the  state  with  the  request 
that  they  furnish  the  books  listed  at  the  discount  price.

RELIGION. 


The  complete  Bible  is  the  home  book.  The  library  should  supply 
abridgments,  adaptations,  and  relative  subject  matter  for  temporary 
use.  The  selection  for  children's  use  should  be  made  from  actual 
reading  of  the  books  and  the  number  should  be  limited.  Old  Testa- 
ment stories  and  New  Testament  stories,  bound  separately,  are  usually 
better  than  general  collections,

and  among  animals,  in  the  long  winter  and  the  wonderful 
summer  up  on  the  ''sater"  or  mountain  pasture.  Woven 
into  it  is  the  story  of  little,  faithful  Lisbeth  Longfrock,  who
